[Atilla]

I read that Zelensky was specifically told that continued insistence on joining NATO would cause a specific response from Russia and he apparently, did not wish to drop NATO membership, refusing to listen to other political voices in Ukraine.

Zelensky, did not listen to prudent and wise advice but instead totally sidelined political opposition, chosing to side with foreign consultations which was backed with financial personal rewards for the comedian.

Taking ones country into war with Russia to make one self richer is such a callous act. Deaths of 1000s of lives rest on Zelensky's stupid and very foolish decision to insist on joining NATO.

It is now common knowledge, that is more likely to lead to WW3 and is a no-go area pretty much. What a shame.


On the other side of the coin Venezuela may become the next Ukraine equivalent, a thorn on the side of America. It's all going horribly sh!ty wrong for all sides.
